About The Position

WIL is seeking a Small Business Program Director for transportation contracting to run a regional center that helps small and disadvantaged businesses compete for and win transportation contracts. This is a contingent proposal opportunity in WIL's expert collaborator network, not a funded vacancy. It supports a competitive grant application WIL is preparing; no award has been made, and there is no guaranteed work or funding. If an award proceeds and the staffing model calls for it, WIL may offer a project-based contract or consulting engagement. WIL will ask before naming the candidate or including their resume in any proposal. The role is described as a remote US project-based contract collaboration.

Requirements

• Experience leading small-business development, procurement technical assistance, or DBE/supplier-diversity programs.
• Knowledge of public-sector or transportation procurement processes.
• Outreach and partnership-building experience with agencies and prime contractors.
• Program management and outcomes-reporting experience.
• Comfortable as a project-based contract collaborator; remote US.

Nice To Haves

• APEX Accelerator / PTAC or SBDC experience.
• Transportation construction or DBE certification background.
• Regional business-network relationships.

Responsibilities

• Direct a regional small-business technical assistance center's outreach, training, and counseling.
• Help small and disadvantaged businesses prepare for transportation contracting and certification.
• Build partnerships with transportation agencies, prime contractors, and business associations.
• Plan and run business-development events, workshops, and matchmaking sessions.
• Track and report client outcomes, contract awards, and program metrics.
• Contribute qualifications and past-performance narrative to WIL proposals when authorized to be named.
